The Arcane Academy buzzed with excitement after the rigorous entrance exam. The candidates, including Bell, who had demonstrated his unique "Devour" and "Release" powers, were abuzz with whispered conversations and curious gazes. The reactions to Bell's abilities were a mixture of awe and apprehension, for he wielded a power few could comprehend.
Among the candidates, one individual stood out, not only because of his exceptional magical talents but also due to the celestial significance of his divine patrons. Zeno, a confident and gifted young mage, had been chosen by three powerful Olympian gods: Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. His rings bore their symbols, and his powers were awe-inspiring.
As the students gathered in the academy's grand hall, Bell couldn't help but feel a sense of competition. Zeno, his rival, had garnered attention not only because of his powerful divine connections but also for his undeniable charisma and skill.
The headmaster, Seraphina, addressed the students, "Congratulations to all who passed the entrance exam. You now stand at the threshold of becoming Wizards. However, remember that you have much to learn and countless challenges to face. Your journey within these walls will test your resolve and abilities."
The students were divided into various houses, each named after a different god. Bell found himself placed in the house of Hermes, the divine messenger, known for its emphasis on speed and agility. Zeno, on the other hand, had been assigned to the house of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and strategy, a choice that befitted his remarkable intellect and command of his godly powers.

In the days that followed, Bell and Zeno's rivalry intensified. Zeno's abilities were nothing short of extraordinary. With Zeus as his patron, he could call forth thunderbolts with a mere gesture, electrifying targets with precision. Poseidon's blessings allowed him to manipulate water at will, creating tidal waves and whirlpools that left their enemies helpless. And with Hades' dark influence, he could invoke shadows that concealed his presence, rendering him nearly invisible.
Bell knew that he had to work diligently to keep up with his gifted rival. His powers of "Devour" and "Release" were raw and untamed, often causing him physical pain. Training under the guidance of experienced mentors, Bell practiced to control his abilities, to harness and direct his unique power without suffering.
As he sought mastery over his dark gift, Bell made friends among his housemates and classmates who were intrigued by his abilities. They provided support and encouragement, forging a bond of camaraderie that would prove invaluable in the challenges to come.
The days at the Arcane Academy passed swiftly, filled with intense training and magical studies. Bell, driven by his thirst for vengeance and the desire to protect the land, was determined to become a Wizard. His rivalry with Zeno only fueled his determination to unlock the full potential of his enigmatic powers and to carve his path to greatness in the world of magic.
